“A Mustard Plaster” Isn’t Always What the Doctor Ordered
We’re not talking about a childhood scare tactic. We mean the sports version — that oh-so-annoying yellow card.
The world of sports lives by its own rules and speaks its own language. Here, the word “butterfly” doesn’t bring to mind a joyful splash of color on the wing of a peacock eye. Quite the opposite — it makes you want to tut in frustration: the goalkeeper has let in an easy goal again — a butterfly.
